Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
End of Day
As we head into the 4th week of this academic year, I would like to remind all parents that it is statutory for children to attend school everyday. The gates open every morning for pupils at 8.30 am and they have to enter their classrooms by 8.50 am or they will be registered as late. School finishes and children must be collected from their classrooms at 3.10pm. We cannot make arrangements for pupils to be collected from the office, you must collect your child from their classroom at 3.10pm. Children should only be absent from school due to illness or if they have a medical appointment. If you are collecting your child early for a medical appointment you must provide the office with medical evidence.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Mrs Ellender and her husband who have welcomed a healthy baby boy to their family. Their new addition, Arthur Joseph arrived safely last Friday afternoon and they are enjoying their first week as a family of three. I have passed on our best wishes from everyone here at Broadford.
IMPORTANT & URGENT MESSAGE – Please help us to provide the very best education to your children.
If your child is eligible for free school meals and you have not yet registered, please register NOW – you will be helping us and we can help you!
For every pupil who is eligible for Free School Meals, our school receives additional funding which enables us to provide essential learning resources, inspiring experiences and great facilities for our children.
Many people do not realise our KS1 children who receive a Universal Free School Meals are also eligible for this funding if their families are in receipt of the relevant benefits.
If your child is eligible for free school meals as well helping the school funding you will also receive:
- a voucher for each child, once per year to assist with the cost of school uniform (redeemable at Premier Schoolwear)
- assistance with contributions towards school trips and residential visits
- some children / families are put off because they think that Free School Meals status means that they have to eat the school lunches. This is not true! If you prefer to bring a packed lunch, that is absolutely fine. The school dinners will be there for you should you want them… but they are not compulsory.
